next Wednesday evening, BY invitatio,
OF the White Cross Army, to men an,
boys over Is years of age only, "on
subject of the deepest interest t,
health and morals"
The Baptist Sunday school will Civ,
picnic excursion next Wednesday
by the steamer Willie, to Arcadia. The
school extends a general invitation t,
the public. Round-trip tickets will
be sold for 80 cents. Children unde,
II years of age half price.
The excursion to have taken plac,
to-day, under the auspices of the Col
legiate Institute, has been indetinitel,
postponed. A field-day, for labor or
the grounds, has been suggested ir
place of the benefit that was expected
to be derived from the trip to Tacoma
Miss Nellie McCausland has returned
from her trip to Eastern Washington
and is visiting home and friends in
this city. While it may be to her own
advantage her many old friends here
will regret to learn that she has de.
cided to open a millinery store in Ia
coma.
1t is not generally known, yet it is a
fact, that the steamer Messenger grants
her passengers very liberal induce
ments in issuing excursion or round
trip tickets between Olympia and Ia
coma, for the very reasonable sum of
one dollar. 1t does not seem to make
much difference though, so far as our
observation goes, for that boat always
has a large share of the passenger
traffic.
Mr.. Jos. Chem will leave in few
days for San Francisco to purchase a
full supply of Fall and Winter wear.
He will attend to any commissions en-
trusted to him while at the Bay City.
En- PEASANT, we may remark that he
will probably bring home with him
one variety of "dry-goods" that he
has not hitherto kept in stock and has
never dealt in during his large exper-
fence in mercantile affairs.
Holy Angels College, of Vancouver,
is one of the Oldest institutions of
learning on the Coast, and we may
add, one of the best, being under the
charge OF faculty of rare scholarship
and eminent devotion to their calling.
Last year there were enrolled 142 pu-
pills, As being boarders, and there is q
probability that the number will be
largely increased for the coming term.
Boys of any age or scholarship ad-
mitted. See advertisement in another
column.
Attention is directed to the adver-
tisement of Providence Academy, con-
Quoted by the Sisters of Charity in
this place. 1t is a school of high grade
for young ladies, in which they are
prepared for the practical duties OF
life as well as skilled in those accom-
plishments which adorn the gentler
sex. Studies will be resumed on Mon
day, Aug. Goth, and the term will close
at the end of June, 1883. Particulars
are given in an advertisement which
will be found in this issue.
In the matter of the occupation of
Fourteenth street by H. NJ. Jameson,
who few weeks ago fenced up a por-
ton of that thoroughfare claiming
that its use by the public would dam
age the crop of some of his fruit trees
near the street line, and obtained
temporary injunction restraining the
city authorities from removing the OBJ
struction, Judge Jones, upon hearing,
has adjudged that "until further or
der of the court, the defendant (the
city, shall be allowed free and uninter-
rupted use of the driveway mentioned
in the pleadings, pending this litiga-
ton"
Mr.. Milton Offutt, having decided to
pay visit to Kansas and his old home
in Kaintuck," On which journey he
may be absent year or more for the
recuperation of his health, has con-
cluded to sell all his personal property,
and will therefore expose for sale, by
public auction, at his farm, on Tues
day, September 18th, some fine horses
a band of Southdown sheep, about 20
tons of hay, agricultural implements,
and various other appliances of farm.
A splendid opportunity will be pre-
sented for obtaining valuable property
at reasonable rates. For particulars
apply at the farm, or to Mr.. Horr, in
Olympia.
A telegram received this morning
by his son, Gus, announces the death
in San Francisco of Sig. Bettman, of
consumption, aged about 81 years.
Deceased was an old resident of Olym-
pia. He came here in 1854, and sub
sequently returned to Germany, and
again came in 1874, since which time
he had been almost continuous resi-
dent of this place. He first engaged in
the sale of general merchandise, but of
late years he has devoted his attention
almost exclusively to the oyster trade
and dealings in wool and pelts. Last
June, he went to San Francisco for
the benefit of his health, but the in
sidious nature of his disease held out q
hope that was futile. He leaves a wife
and two Children son and q
daughter-to mourn his loss.
